Spain's Itnuveth have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for more of a viking style of pagan black metal and this is a review of their 2021 album "Anankè" which was released by Base Record Production.
A very heavy, epic and melodic sound starts off the album along with some angry sounding black metal screams a few seconds later which also adds in some growls as well as having their grim moments at times. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they also add in a great amount of melody.
All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while some tracks also add in some clear pagan vocals. One song also introduces spoken word parts onto the album along with the clean playing and acoustic guitars also adding in touches of folk music when they are utilized.
When the music finally speeds up a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the music more of a raw feeling as well as one song also adding in a brief use of folk instruments along with some of the songs also adding in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Norse Mythology, Witchcraft, Wars and Battle themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording form Itnuveth and if you are a fan of viking and pagan black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Anankè" "Sometimes Are Gods' "Rising From Life" and "Sinking in The Ocean". 8 OUT OF 10.
